Cincinnati Football and Basketball Pursue New Talent Through Transfer Portal
The transfer portal is open for both football and basketball, and Cincinnati is actively seeking fresh talent in both sports.
On the football side, UC has extended an offer to defensive tackle Mike Yoan Sandjo-Njiki from SMU. The 6-2, 302-pound player has one year of eligibility remaining after seeing limited action in 2023, playing just 34 snaps. Despite the limited playing time, he earned a solid 71.4 Pro Football Focus grade over 159 snaps last season.
I would like to thank my coaches and teammates at SMU. I am very thankful for all the relationships we have built. It has truly been a blessing to play for Dallas’s team.
After prayer and talking to my family, I have decided to enter my name in the transfer portal. 1yr left. pic.twitter.com/Mwj0zUjWlm— Sandjo (@mike_sandjo) April 16, 2025
